Celebrity Big Brother, 12 March, 2024, ITV1

Tonight on Celebrity Big Brother…

In the garden, David engages in a conversation with Louis about The X Factor and how judges make their decisions during the judge’s houses stage. Louis shares his thought process, saying, “I’m thinking will the public like this person?” David wonders if that is why he would have made it through. Louis responds affirmatively, stating that David would have divided the audience, but enough people would have liked him because he stood out and was different.

Playfully begging for a chance, David manages to convince Louis: “You’re not the best singer in the world… But ok I’m gonna give you a chance, I’m gonna put you through.” As David pretends to cry in response, Louis jokingly advises him not to do a Rylan. He then adds, “You would’ve been great for X Factor; you could’ve been a Rylan. Rylan wasn’t the best singer in the world, but he was great.”

Later on, Big Brother gathers all the housemates in the living room to announce a talent contest called “You’re Gonna Be A Star.” Marisha will act as Big Brother’s singing coach while Nikita will be the choreographer. They both join Sharon and Louis on the judging panel.

The housemates are split into two groups – boys versus girls – as they compete head-to-head to become stars. It remains to be seen which group has what it takes to win.

Before their big judging gig begins, Sharon and Louis discuss their past experiences with Big Brother. When asked who they consider as some of the best people they’ve worked with, Louis mentions Westlife and how they never let him down. He also lists Ozzy Osbourne and Jeff Lynne among his favorites. Regarding potential stars among this year’s housemates, he believes Bradley definitely has the X Factor while Ekin-Su probably does too.

Not all housemates receive high praise from Louis though. He expresses doubt about Fern’s suitability for the girl group, given her age. He suggests she be placed in the back. However, he acknowledges that Girls Aloud has produced great songs and commends Nadine as a talented singer.

Ekin-Su embraces her sexiness during dance rehearsals with Nikita. She appreciates how Nikita incorporates hip movements into their routine, noting that it adds a certain allure to their performance. Later on, when Ekin-Su strikes a seductive pose in the kitchen, Fern jokingly remarks that it belongs on Ekin-Su’s Only Fans page. Ekin-Su clarifies that she doesn’t have an Only Fans account and dislikes the platform.

In a conversation with Sharon about feeling sexy, Ekin-Su shares her concern about coming across as provocative when she dresses up. Sharon reassures her, saying that some people naturally exude sexiness and Ekin-Su is one of those people. As they embrace, Ekin-Su asks Sharon who she thinks would be good for her in the house. Sharon suggests hanging out with the boys and mentions Bradley as someone sweet and gorgeous.

Tonight at 9pm on ITV1 is another episode of Celebrity Big Brother. For those who want to catch up on previous episodes, the series is available for streaming on ITVX.
